And none of the 'adults' at the school suspected that, in this 'modern' age of apoplectic racial hysteria masquerading as 'diversity', that this would not be something that would create an 'incident'?

It appears that in this case as in many, many others the Left is blissfully unaware of the havoc that they have wreaked upon society.

It DOES make lighting of skin tones easier and better for the photographer!

It was a pretty brain dead thing to do, don’t you think?

They should have reversed the order — it would have been the same advantage to the photographers and nobody would have dared to complain. It’s always acceptable to offend Caucasians.

School regrets skin colour photo

 

A primary school head teacher is to apologise to parents after their children were lined up according to skin colour for an official photograph.

Val Hughes, of Sandhurst Junior School in Lewisham, south-east London, said teachers had mistakenly taken the advice of a professional photographer.

She said it was an "error of judgement" and would be personally writing to all parents to apologise.

A governors meeting will be held into the circumstances of the incident.

'Promoting diversity'

Ms Hughes said: "On this occasion, teaching staff took the professional advice of the photographer. We can see this was an error of judgement and we regret this greatly.

"Contrary to reports, however, the children were not upset in any way and really enjoyed having their photos taken.

"Our school has an excellent record of promoting diversity and I will personally be writing to apologise to all parents."

She said the school would raise its concerns with the photographer to ensure it "never happens again".

'No complaints'

Chair of governors at the school, Abdeslam Amrani, told BBC London 94.9: "Unfortunately for some reason a decision was made, not a good one though, to take a picture of children in a particular alignment.

"We [school governors] have taken this pretty seriously and we apologise to the children and the parents who were distressed by the experience."

"It was a misjudgement and we will be holding an emergency governors meeting to see how this issue has arisen and to look at making sure it does not happen again.

He said he was not aware of any complaints made by parents.

The school has just received an "outstanding" report from Ofsted and many of its pupils are achieving high grades.

A governors' meeting will be held on Monday.

And I call B.S.

This article sounds more like an attempt to push the racist agenda even farther along.

Reads like total hogwash.

I was always bothered that I was the shortest in the class. When we took pictures, we lined up by height, and I was ALWAYS last.

I’ve never recovered. May I sue?

Union or government photographer?

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

We were lined up according to height for group photos and
nobody cared, cried or had their wittle feeeelllings hurt.

[sarasmom]

LOL!

In photography, lighting is king!
The school must have been paying the photographer by the hour.
(It takes time to set up lights and umbrellas and adjust them for group shots of people with widely varied skin tones)
If you get it right, its a beautiful “natural looking” photo.
If you get it wrong....

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

Just print the negatives, that should solve it.
Or develop the reversed negative which will reverse the order.

but claimed it was to make it easier for the photographer.

My instant reaction. Duh!!

[Lexinom]

Well, where’s the picture? The description is of an artistically beautiful arrangement, like a human fade from light to dark, dark to light. Why must we be so easily offended?
